How do you Clear your Cache or your Browser Memory

Here's how to clear your cache/browser memory

To make browsing the internet faster, almost all browsers store copies of webpages you've visted and open destinations from memory. From time to time, this can cause an error as the browser tries to access a page that has been changed. Clearing your Cache/browser memory will reset the browser so it loads with the most current information.

Here's the process for many common browsers.

Using Internet Explorer 9-11:

Click the Tools or Settings icon (the gear found in the upper right hand corner of your screen)

Click Internet Options

Choose the General Tab

Click Delete under Browsing History

Click Temporary Internet Files (this is the only one that needs to be checked; you can uncheck the others)

Click Delete at bottom of the pop-up and then click OK

Using Internet Explorer 8: (this browser is no longer supported)

Using Chrome:

Click Settings (upper-right-hand corner) looks like a wrench

Choose Tools

Choose Clear browsing data

Click to choose Empty the Cache (you may click to deselect the others)

Click button at bottom that says Clear browsing data
